Historically, while both mathematics and science education originated as research fields motivated by professional concerns to 'reform' and 'improve' educational provision, they have now developed much broader -and often parallel- agendas. As the overview by Kelly and Lesh illustrates (which I shall summarise in the session), research approaches in these fields have been influenced not just by broader trends in educational research, but by an aspiration to develop methodologies tailored to their distinctive needs. Both fields, however, continue to draw not just on general educational (and broader social scientific) perspectives but on those distinctive to, or distinctively about, their focal discipline of mathematics or science; finding an appropriate equilibrium remains a crucial issue explored in Lijnse's critique of Anglo-American science-education research from the viewpoint of Continental-European subject didactics. The papers by Lawson and by Lerman et al. offer broader analyses of change over time, taking contrasting approaches to examining how theory and methodology have developed in the two fields. In the session, we shall discuss these issues in the light of the required reading, and relate them to the approaches to theory, methodology and design that participants are adopting in their own research.
